I travel to San Juan quite a lot, I'd say this property is similar to a simple business person's hotel, sort of like a basic Day's Inn kind of place. Yes, the hallway carpets need to be replaced but my room was perfectly clean, housekeeping was great and I felt safe at all times (I'm a woman traveling solo). I... More

The hotel is affordable and it is walking distance to the beach. The area around the hotel itself is so so and I was a little weary at nights. I stayed there by myself and it was ok but if I came with my daughter I would pay more and stay at the Hilton that is right on the beach.... More

Thank you for taking time to tell us about your experience at our hotel. I am very sorry to hear that one of our female guest service assistants was unpleasant with you. We will be addressing this matter since this is inappropiate behavior. Also the security of our guests is of utmost importance, so strangers are not allowed on premises.... More

I don't like being negative, but unfortunately I have to agree with alot of these reviews. I am noticing that the same complaint has continued over a few years. To start on a positive note, we thought the upstairs rooftop breakfast area was the best. I found the food was not bad, the view was really nice, and it seemed... More

The location is good near Condado area restaurants, pubs and casinos. The beach is a few blocks away. The place is safe. The breakfast is very simple, in an open area where you can not stay when it rains. The hallways are noisy. Only recommended for low budget travellers. More

The breakfast room was on the roof top terrace with an awesome view and cooling breeze. The building was older, but very clean and well maintained. The staff was helpful and was willing to give advice on site seeing. The hotel was maybe four or five blocks from the beach, but definitely not a long walk. Parking was a pain.... More

My wife and I spent the first two nights and the last night of our marvelous, first time, (nine-day) Puerto Rican vacation at this facility. The price of the room was certainly reasonable.

I wasn't expecting much when making this reservation, and still ended up being dissappointed. I agree with a previous reviewer that this Quality Inn lacks quality. The one positive I can list if the free buffet breakfast everywhere, which included more than danishes and juice. There are mini waffles, sausages, crossaints, etc. Do take advantage of this. Other than this... More
